Teddy Kennedy Last Man On Earth Qualified To Question Ethics, Integrity Of Judicial Nominees
The American View ^ | January, 2006 | John Lofton

Posted on 01/26/2006 6:36:16 PM PST by The_Eaglet

There may be a more disgusting, nauseating spectacle than Teddy Kennedy sitting in judgment on a Supreme Court nominee’s ethics and integrity, but I’m not sure what this might be. But, there he was on national TV, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asking his questions and making his points with all the skills of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. Kennedy among other things:

— Was suspended from Harvard because of cheating when he was caught getting another student to take a Spanish test for him.

— Had his father get his Army duty changed to two years from the four years he signed up for. He ended up a guard at NATO headquarters in Paris rather than in Korea where a war was going on.

My cousin just got a new dog and they were wondering about naming him. Since her husband is from Boston and an Irishman I suggested they name him after a Kennedy....If they find their dog drinking a lot and running away after he has an accident they could name him Teddy......

HEY NOW..............no need to compare Teddy-boy to the antics of a hilarious movie character. I liked that movie! :>

Teddy-boy is more like the fatazz reckless, toxic, clueless cousin of Professor Irwin Corey.

I am still sickened by the remembrance of Fat Boy declaring Jeff Sessions unfit to sit on the judiciary several years ago.

Paybacks being what they are, I enjoy all the much more every verbal bitch slap Sessions delivers to Kennedy during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.

The Article gives The Swimmer TOO much credit.

It claims he didn't report the accident for "nine hours"..

He NEVER reported the accident. The body of Mary Jo was discovered after nine hours, but with no help from Fat Boy.

Great article, except for the gratuitous insult to Ace Ventura, Pet Detective.

Good post. I hope some of Teddy's friends or family read the forums or blogs. Kerry and Teresa do! I found this on another forum last week;

John Kerry

P.S. I want you all to know that I’m reading your many comments. My wife Teresa reads blogs passionately, and
I follow blogs too, and I’m glad I can be a part of this – and frankly I’m not worried about taking some slings and arrows along the way. I’ve faced worse! So keep the comments coming -- good, bad, hopefully not indifferent.

Quite an article. The man is definitely a pig, but the Kennedys are like the Bonapartes. They think they have the right to rule.

You forget the difference between "private morals" and "public morals" as described by the left. If you vote for every welfare program, every man-hating resolution, every gay-friendly law, every quota and against national defense you have great "public morals".
